The boat was driving on the water, Fang Hong saw something from a distance, and bumped into the buddy next to him who always called the wrong name so he didn't call his name: "What's that?"
"Forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Amazon python!" "Holy, so big?
Fang Hong looked at it for a while: "The longest snake in the world is still a reticulated python, and the green forest python is famous for its weight, its body length is not long, it is relatively thick." ā
"It's not as scary as in the movies, they don't attack humans because they're hard to eat, and of course, if they're small, they're likely to be eaten as monkeys. However, I have only heard of reticulated pythons devouring humans, and I have never heard of forest pythons devouring humans. ā
"In fact, their ancestors are much larger than them, the titan python is more than sixteen meters long, the largest snake ever seen in the world, and the ancestor of the forest python. ā
"These snakes are ovoviviparous, which means that they hatch their eggs in their bodies, and because they are too thick to see their vestigial limbs, unlike the pythons in Asia. ā
In Asia, there is a common legend of dragons, while in South America there is also a legend of a feathered snake.
"However, this is certified by the scientific community, and it does not mean that it is the limit of the truth, because there have been several times when more than thirteen meters of snake skin have been found, but there is no skeleton, and it cannot be scientifically recorded, if those hunting legends are true, then in these uninhabited tropical rainforests in Brazil, maybe there are really more than thirteen meters or even close to the existence of the titan python. ā
"We're almost at the dock. ā
Or rather, a wooden bridge thrown out of the river......
The buddy next to him kept talking, but the accent was very heavy, Fang Hong probably listened: "Most men in Brazil speak in a high pitch, but their voices are very low when they laugh. I personally analyzed it, it should be because in order to attract the attention of women in a crowded environment, they have developed a habit over time, but their laughter feels very much like the treacherous laughter we understand, and there is a feeling that the treacherous plan has succeeded. ā
"666, Brother Gun, you will be beaten if you say that. ā
"No, the Brazilian would be happy to hear someone say that he spoke in a way that attracted a woman's attention. This is Brazil. ā
It is said to be a small town, but it is actually a rotten area.
"This guy just told me that this used to be a small gold mine, and then there was not much gold, and only a few people remained, because it was quite habitable. ā
"The one we're going to meet is a man who came out of Zoe when he first came into contact with the outside world, but they still live in the clan for a long time, and every now and then a little people go out into the outside world. ā
"It's devastated, it's mostly dug up, but there's no gold mine here, and in a few years, it's estimated that it will be restored. ā
Walking among various tents and wooden houses, Fang Hong complained: "I came by plane in the first half of the trip, and I heard that Brazil has built a lot of roads in the river part, which has led to a lot of deforestation along the road, but in the northern Amazon, there is no systematic road, and boats are the main means of transportation here." ā
"After getting on land, communication is basically by roaring, and transportation is basically by walking. ā
"Brother gun, I remember the next sentence, the next sentence is that anti-theft basically depends on dogs, and entertainment basically depends on hands!"
Fang Hong and his fellow reporters found the Zoe man together.
The man was wearing only shorts, his whole body was dark and red, his long hair was tied back his head, and a wooden stick was worn at his chin, and his age was not recognizable.
"The Zoe are very much like Asians and Pacific Rim Islanders when they are young, but as they reach adulthood, they get darker and darker, probably because of the climate. ā
This buddy saw the two coming, and the reporter stepped forward to ask.
"In Brazil, the foreign language penetration rate is very low, but they sometimes use a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese, and this journalist buddy, although he has a serious accent, can speak English, and he is a very good talent, from the poor to the middle class, relying on this stepping stone. ā
The conversation between the two was basically over, and the Zoe man looked at Fang Hong and asked, and the reporter translated: "He wants to know why you want to go to the clan." ā
"I'm an adventurer, I've been photographing and adventuring all over the world, and I'm looking forward to this hot spot, but I hope to see the Zoe tribe before the adventure begins. Fang Hong stepped forward: "My name is Fang Hong." ā
The reporter translated, and the Zoe man stretched out his hand: "Akro." ā
"Hello Akro. ā
Akro said a lot, and the reporter translated again: "He said that he can take you in, but you can't have a relationship with the people in the village, and the woman takes the initiative to ask you, and you are not allowed to agree." ā
Fang Hong nodded: "Understood." ā
Fang Hong thought for a while, and still asked, "Can I give you any compensation or something?"
Akro thought for a long time, turned back to speak to the reporter, the reporter nodded, and then turned back: "He said, help him buy a mirror." ā
Fang Hong: "It's not a bribe, right?"
"Not really. ā
Fang Hong found a resident of the town, found someone, and bought the mirror.
Akro was delighted.
It seems that the Zoe people are very fond of beauty, but they are their own independent aesthetics.
The three of them are going deep into the dense forest, and the reporter comrades plan to use the opportunity of this business trip to go in and take some photos and send them out, so they will go with them.
After Fang Hong counted all the items, the three of them set off together.
"The gathering place should be in the depths of the river, and we will be there by tonight. ā
In fact, at half past one o'clock in the afternoon, I disembarked.
The three of them walked into the depths of the forest.
Akro walked halfway, took off his shorts, put them in his back pocket, and got naked.
Fang Hong explained: "The Zoe people don't wear clothes, but he only wears shorts when he goes to the outside world, although he has been approved by the radio and television to play their naked pictures before this trip, but after entering the tribe, I will still turn off the live broadcast and only play clips every day until I leave." ā
The most bizarre thing is that Akro tied Tintin and Mao together with palm leaves: "They walked naked in the woods, and in order to avoid injury, men would use this thing called kono to bind Tintin together." ā
Naked, carrying a pocket on his back, a longbow on his shoulder, and a quiver hanging from his waist, it is the standard for the Zoe people.
Fang Hong took out a compound bow from his backpack, which was also a waist hanging arrow.
Although the bow is different, Akro is also interested, and the reporter translated: "He asked if this bow was good. ā
Fang Hong opened his hand and shook off the bow and handed it out: "You try...... With my arrows, your wooden arrows will burst with this. ā
The reporter translated, and Akro took the compound bow and picked up the aluminum arrow.
After a closer look, Akro stabbed the arrow to the ground.
Then the arrow was raised, and a smooth green frog with yellow spots stuck in the arrow was inserted.
Fang Hong looked at the camera: "This is a poison dart frog, it is a protected animal all over the world, it is extremely poisonous, only Indians in South America have the right to kill frogs without breaking the law, don't try it, in addition, bringing this thing back to China is also a felony, enough to sentence you to three years." ā
Throwing off the poison dart frog, Akro tried to open the bow, the first time the force was small, he didn't pull it away, and the second time he pulled it away and shot out.
Fifty meters away, a poisonous snake was nailed to the trunk of the tree, constantly twisting and struggling, and after only eight seconds, it began to convulse irregularly, which was already an unconscious state of the body's reaction.
By the time the three-person tree was under the tree, the snake could not even react to the body, because the nervous system was paralyzed for a short time and then began to destroy.
The reporter took some photos: "Akro said that this bow is too ...... Too much power, a waste of effort, but the aim is good, but its arrows are not suitable for killing prey, too smooth and not bleeding much. ā
Fang Hong turned his head: "That's because it's not full, any animal that is shot will bleed into it, because the epidermis will be completely torn." ā
Fang Hong took the bow, took out an arrow, stretched the bow with all his strength, and shot out.
Fifty meters away, a thigh-thick tree trunk was completely pierced by an arrow, and the arrow that passed through the tree nailed to a tree behind the tree.
